Transport Geography of India: Commodity Flows and the Regional Structure of the Indian Economy
ByPublisher Description
There is conflict, tension, despair in the midst of rising income, productivity and material welfare. Man’s search for peace and security through weapons and wars, through science and technology, and through centralisation and domination, has made him now an endangered species needing protection from his own creation. He has become his own enemy. The growing realisation that we must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human nature is the main thrust of this volume. It uses the Gandhian idiom of Truth and Non-violence -as the end as well the means to achieve this balance, and pin-points the role of education in creating conditions for a re-assessement of the way we have acted in the past to arrive at the present juncture of unease, helplessness and wide-ranging monstrarities. The first volume consists of fourteen papers by eminent persons like D.S. Kothan, N. Radhakrishnan. Ramji Singh, and, L Dossey on conflict between science and spirituality and the role of education in bridging the widening gap The second volume contains fourteen papers by equally eminent writers on conflicts generated by developmental processes, their causes and consequences; and non-violence as the weapon of the courageous and brave to -esolve these conflicts. Here is a set of two volumes which shows the Gandhian way to peace and harmony.
